Stakes

The PGA Tour needed to announce the entire 2024 FedEx Cup schedule at once — 39 tournaments, each with its own identity, all inside a single launch moment. A list of dates and city names wasn't going to carry that. It needed a world.

The build

This was a WTTR Studios production for the PGA Tour. I built the models and simulations for each individual scene — the per-tournament worlds that give the film its variety. The campaign was anchored by a 3D world map and a hero cinematic touring all 39 tournament locations, each with its own environment design hinting at that stop's iconic features — a breaching whale, a lighthouse, a stadium grandstand, a golden statue on the tee. Beyond the hero cut, every tournament got six of its own custom videos, for a total of 241 animated deliverables and nearly eight full minutes of 3D animation across the campaign.
